The Wild Party presented by Blank Theatre at Reginald Vaughn Theater

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...If you’re looking for a raunchy yet low-key event, The Wild Party may be right for you. Besides, a little party never killed anybody."

Chicagoland Musical Theatre - Recommended

"...There's no better venue to take in a production of Andrew Lippa's Wild Party than a snug storefront black box. The musical is entirely set within a grody and increasingly oppressive Manhattan studio apartment circa 1928, after all-what better way to keep people in their seats than a manic gaggle of performers doing the Charleston, like, two feet in front of them?"

Third Coast Review - Not Recommended

"...I am sorry to say that I was disappointed. The Roaring Twenties milieu has inspired great art, both Cabaret and Chicago—to name two famous examples—are among the finest musical ever written. But this production, directed by Jason A. Fleece, did not reach those heights."

Picture This Post - Recommended

"...Some hardcore devotees of musical theater, like this writer, might find the production’s tempo lagging a bit here and there. That said, the superlative choreography and vocal performance will likely delight most audiences, as they certainly did on opening night. Standout vocals and top-notch choreography make The Wild Party a night of fun. If you are a fan who seeks out the more obscure musicals, this is a show for you."

BroadwayWorld - Highly Recommended

"...While the cast and crew did a splendid job with the entire production from top to bottom, The Wild Party is not a show for the faint of heart. The exchanges between Queenie, Kate, Burrs and Black were needlessly repetitive in nature, the character development was shallow (if at all present), and the show's ending leaves you with more questions than answers. A trigger warning for domestic violence and gun violence is needed for any would-be attendees. Nevertheless, this relatively new theatre company delivered a tight performance with great energy and flow directed by Jason A Fleece. If you're looking to patronize local theatre in an intimate setting, look no further than this heady production of Blank Theatre Company's The Wild Party."
